I am done with angry birds and temple run now. Can anyone suggest some good mobile games? When I say good, I mean they should be comparable to the other two?
Line Runner! Fast-paced, addictive, requires quick reflexes and is incredible fun: Hallmarks of an absorbing Android game!
Why don't birds get electrocuted sitting on power lines?
Current flows in a loop[ which means the circuit is closed]. A bird sitting on a transmission line does not complete the circuit. If the same bird keeps one leg on one line and another leg (or any part of its body) on another line(or the neutral points), then it will get roasted.Consider this circuit where a bird sits on the wire:The values R1 and R2 are resistances of the line. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. The two legs of the bird which is perched on the same line does not complete the circuit. The R_Bird( resistance of the bird’s body) is much higher than that of the line, so the bird might not experience high current. The potential difference between the two legs of the bird is same( since the resistance of the line is the same throughout).The current flows on.The bird is safe.Now consider this scenario:A bird sitting on a line decides to fly away and raises the wings. With one wing touching the neighboring line and the leg on the first line, this creates a closed circuit. Thus electricity (following the path of least resistance) will detect a potential difference between the wing (which touches the other line) and the leg(which is placed on the first line). The current tries to take on that path creating a short-circuit. Eventually the bird gets zapped and falls off the line. Now the current will continue to flow on.The lesson we learn here is that when ever we play with electricity, make sure you (your body) does not close the circuit. When we poke our fingers into an electrical socket we get shocked because our body will offer a lower resistance . Thus a potential difference will be created between your finger and the feet( which is placed on the floor acting as a neutral point).
Why in the world are they making an Angry Birds movie?
Because it's a recognizable property, which will help advertising tremendously.Why wouldn't there be an Angry Birds movie, really?There have been big-budget blockbusters based on theme park rides and old board games - the former of which was wildly successful, and lead to an entire movie franchise.The intellectual property that's attached to it is just a brand. Movies are one way to continue to engage people with that brand. It doesn't matter too much if there's narrative literature behind that IP or not. It doesn't matter if the movie is a "cash grab" or not.Nine Lives (2016) is coming out soon, aimed at a similar audience, and is an original film - not an adaptation of a pre-existing IP. It isn't any less of a "cash grab". And from the trailers so far, it looks very, very much worse than The Angry Birds Movie (2016) (which already doesn't look that good to begin with).People make culture. They make it out of everything around them.
They say that today's cell phones have more computing power than NASA used to go to the moon in the 1960s. If that's true and assuming I have my own rocket, what apps would I need to make it from Earth to the moon with just a phone and a rocket?
well, this is something i really like to know, so i googled it.based on computer world, Apollo 11: The computers that put man on the moon , the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) had approximately 64Kbyte of memory and operated at 0.043MHz."The importance of this computer was highlighted in a lecture by astronaut David Scott who said: "If you have a basket ball and a baseball 14 feet apart, where the baseball represents the moon and the basketball represents the Earth, and you take a piece of paper sideways, the thinness of the paper would be the corridor you have to hit when you come back.""Along with the APG, mainframes were also heavily used in the Apollo programme. Over 3,500 IBM employees were involved, (pictured below). TheGoddard Space Flight Center used IBM System/360 Model 75s for communications across Nasa and the spacecraft."and here is the IBM System/360 based on Wiki, and Model 75 got CPU Bandwidth of 41 and Memory of 1,024KB.on the other side, Apple mobile application processors, A4 (for iPhone 4) is running with 800MHz and 512MBi think this gap is quite big, since only a few guys i know are still using a 2010 phone. and i am sure you have more power in your hand.so the force is with you, use it.
